Guest Speaker This Week : Hon. Karen Andrews, Federal member for McPherson. Karen spoke very warmly about the RC Burleigh Heads and its successes over the years.

Karen particularly noted personally meeting Lisa from Fight For Youth at a RCBH meeting and working through her office with the RCBH to support that project.

She explained how a $40,000 van was provided to this needy project by accessing Stronger Communities funding and working through RCBH. A most successful outcome for all.

Karen offered to provide an Australian flag for our YEP student Luca at an appropriate time prior to his returning home in June and to provide a used, very large flag from the flagpole

Lovely Ladies BTD Finally, President Richard was delighted to accept a cheque from Stronger Communities to the value of $5000 in support of the Scooter project.
